8. Stages of development of sutures(Pritchard ,Scott and Girgis)(AJO
1988)
• Stage of approaching of bony edges
• Stages of meeting of bony edges
• Early growing stage
• Late growing stage
• Adult stage
• neural mass translation tension at suture edges
bone deposition growth
• Sutural ends are smooth at birth serrated as age
advances
• Curvature of bone reduces and become flat

9. CRANIAL BASE
Lodges neural mass
Provide passage for nerves and blood vessels
Bears the wight of rapidly expanding brain
Provides thrust for anterior growth of facial skelton

10. CRANIAL FOSSA
Displacement due to expanding neural mass
Growth at synchondrosis
Secondary fill in ossification of sutures
Cortical remodellingDR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS
10
13. SYNCHONDROSIS
Inter sphenoidal(at birth)
Inter occipital(5yr)
Spenoethmoidal(5-10yrs)
Spheno occipital/basioccipita(13-15yrs
Thilander and ingervall 1973 showed that there is a growth catrilage in
the sella turcica which is patent till 3 years of life

14. SPHENO OCCIPITAL
SYNCHONDROSIS
MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR IN POSTNATAL GROWTH
FUSE AT 12-13 IN GIRLS
14-15 IN BOYS
OSSIFIES AT 20 YEARS
Central layer of catrilagenous tissue with
proliferating zone
hypertrophic zone
zone of endochondral ossification
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS
14
15. CLIVUS
Endocranial portion- resorption
Ectocranial –deposition
Leads to secondary displacement of nasomaxillary complex
Cause vertical growth of middle and lower face
Length of cranial base 65% at birth,83% first year ,98%by 15 years
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS

17. Growth takes place in 3planes
• In height
• In transverse direction
• In anterio-posterior direction
Forces
• Primary displacement
• Synchondroses
• Sutures
• Septal catrilage

23. PALATE
Intermaxillary suture is smooth and open in children(6-8)
Overlapping in adolescence(10-12)
Interdigitated in late adolescence(14-16)

32. POSTERIOR
MAXILLARY PLANE
Boundary between important growth controlling functional
matrices
Boundary for growth site of upper and lower jaw
Structural developmental morphological boundary
It makes relating various structures both anatomically and
functionallly
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS
32
34. ZONES
• Articular zone
• Proliferating zone
• Hypertrophic zone
• Zone of endochondral ossification
• Active proliferation till 13-15yrs. And most evident in
pubertal age
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS

38. SCAMMONS CURVE
Maxillary correction is less effective after the age of 10
Facial width follow neural curve and depth and height follow
general body curve
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS
38
39. TIMING
Girls complete growth earlier than boys
Skeltal and biological maturity indicators help in assesing
skeltal age of a person
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS

40. ADRENARCHE
Increase in rise in adrenal androgen and occurs 2 years prior to
start of pubertal acceleration (Parker and Mehesh)
It stimulate gonadrotrophic releasing hormone . Maturation of
gonadostat is important for onset of pubertal spurt(Sizonenko)

41. CERVICAL
RADIOGRAPH
Bacetti et al stated that peak of mandibular growth is found
to occur within a year after attaining CS3
So CS3-CS4 period yield maximum result
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS
41
42. Bacetti and Mc Namara studied result of treatments of
class11 and 111 –excellent result in circumpuertal period
Bacetti et al stated that increase in mandibular length is twice
in circumpubertal than prepubertal
Maxillary expansion will be skeletally effective only if
treatment complete in early adolescence
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS MDS
42
44. GROWTH DIRECTION
• Vertical to horizontal growth of mandible
• Dimension of face complete growth of width followed by depth and
height
• Mand.intercanine width establish by 9-10yrs in boys and
max.canines erupt after mand intercanine width is established
• Max.Width cant increase after 12-13 in girls but max.intercanine
width increase till 18yrs

45. CONCLUSION
The knowledge of growth and development of craniofacial
structures are necessary to attain a positive result in
orthodontic and orthopedic treatments as they are
specialities that works with the growth
